Phys.org / Tiny-armed alvarezsauroid dinosaurs might have been insect eaters, fossil scans suggest
Dinosaurs are estimated to have roamed Earth for over 165 million years, gradually evolving over time to survive in changing environments. Among the many fascinating groups of dinosaurs known to have lived on our planet are ...
Phys.org / A giant star may have destroyed itself in one of the universe's rarest explosions
Astronomers may have discovered one of the clearest examples yet of a rare "pair-instability" supernova. It is a catastrophic explosion thought to completely destroy some of the most massive stars in the universe, leaving ...
Medical Xpress / Middle-aged and older adults with autistic traits face rising anxiety over time, study finds
A major UK study has found that while most middle-aged and older adults experience low levels of anxiety, a small group of people with higher autistic traits are much more likely to report that their anxiety worsens as they ...
Phys.org / Antihydrogen mirrors hydrogen in upgraded spectrum test, narrowing cosmic mystery
University of Calgary researchers are a part of a group who just got one step closer to solving a mystery of the universe. Dr. Timothy Friesen, Ph.D., an associate professor of Physics and Astronomy in the Faculty of Science, ...
Medical Xpress / Can AI beat breast cancer?
An artificial intelligence (AI) system that combines breast cancer tissue images with molecular marker data achieves high accuracy in diagnosis, tumor classification, and survival prediction. Details of the research are reported ...
Science X / Why your old playlists still hit hard even if you never press play
Past research has shown that music is a significant source of nostalgia that boosts well-being and social bonds. In fact, hearing a tune from your youth is a powerful cue for rich, vivid memories. But what about hearing nothing ...
Phys.org / Nanoengineered materials can store and release hydrogen at room temperature
Energy engineers worldwide are working on various new technologies that could help to limit greenhouse gas emissions on Earth and address climate change. One proposed alternative to polluting fossil fuels, such as petrol, ...
Phys.org / Atlantic 'cold blob' may be reshaping Indian monsoon, steering rain northwest
The Indian monsoon has shifted over the past quarter century. Northwest India now receives substantially more rain than it once did, while a lack of rain sends the Indo-Gangetic Plain toward drought.
